hey, ive been skiing for about 5 years now.. sadly still having to rent stuff.. ffrageGot myself a new jacket last year, cost a pretty penny, but i love it. North Face Emersion, its like a work of art..Still trying to find some nice pants and gloves..

I tend to dabble in the terrian/jumps park.. but no jumps, i have yet to work out a nice balance for skiing.. plus there isnt much powder here..

Almost got the chance to go to a nice resort in Canada, but school got in the way..i hope I can get a chance to go up there.. I love snow.Its not that acute of an angle, the photo was taken from a lower angle, person is shorter also... perspective changes..havent really been to too many GREAT places, we mostly go to like Shawnee and Camelback.. other then like Hunter Mountain, those are pretty close to us in NYC..

hmm, im thinking about the North face freedon insulated pants.. (not a TNF whore, but like their designs, and material choices sometimes)

Do you mean like leather work or dress styled gloves, or ones with a leather palm? ive tried a couple different gloves ATM, none has stuck soo far, i value dexterity, very highly. thats my issues, plus i have a glove size thats somehwere between medium and large...some meds fit, some dont, and then large has too much extra material in front..

mostly i skii in around 30 degree weather..it dips to like 20 average at night..

anybody get snow yet? 10 inch base in truckee excited to tear it up in the backcountry got me some new dynafit bindings and boots and some new powder sticks. I spend easily 10x more on skiing then paintball

Planing on getting a new GNU billy goat for $300. On resort discounts and pro form feels good man. Moving to big sky after I get a year of patrolling in. Also just got a pair of used Salomon czars(Rockerd powder skis) for $350 with 14 din all steel bindings.

I'm going pro next year............kinda. I'm going to be a patroler at sunday river next season and that means 50% of all gear. Fuck yeah! Also i bought a captia stairmaster and broke it in three days. Pulled the edge and they are covering it.

Nice dude mervin manufacturing always makes sweet rides. My girlfriend is getting a never summer revolver this year. Im definately taking that for a ride when shes not using it Also it looks like my mountian will be open in about 3 weeks.

Winter needs to come faster...Sadly where i go, not much snow.. since we dont spend THAT much money on it.Been skiing since i was like 12.. got my own pair of skiis,bindings, boots just around last year.This was on rentals, so idc if they got scratched

I love my jacket out of everything..

also, does this only count for downhill/powder/park skiing? Any one like XC?

So far, then next thing on my list is a new pair of goggles, and a new balaclava

on my mountian we spent another million on snow guns for this year. We arguably have the ballsiest and hardest working snowmaking in the east coast at sunday river. We have already made snow for test firing a week back.

I see a shit ton of Burton, Rossignol, K2, and a few other brands, but the last time I went out I swear I was the only person riding a Mervin deck. Love the DK model, it's like the rider choice but a tad stiffer, works for me when Im bombing down the hill.

No park for me though, I ride big mountain - steep and deep if you might.

Mervin is very popular around here along with burton,capita, and never summer. Only the toughest boards survive the harsh ice coast. As far as my riding and skiing style I like doing everything. Bumps,trees,park, pipe but out of all those riding in the trees an riding off the backside and hucking cliffs is where its all at.
